From The New Yorker:"In this comic first novel, two estranged sisters living in England discover that their addled elderly father, a Ukrainian war refugee and expert on tractors, is planning to marry a young, enormous-breasted woman who sees his modest pension as her ticket to capitalist comfort. The sisters put aside their differences, and embark on a spirited campaign to save him from boil-in-the-bag dinners, slovenly housekeeping, and such extravagant purchases as a broken-down Rolls-Royce. In the midst of these machinations?which include long-winded letters to solicitors, venomous gossip, and all-out spying?Lewycka stealthily reveals how the depredations of the past century dictate what a family can bear."Copyright ? 2005 The New Yorker
